Men looked down on him. They didn’t accept him.
He knew all about sorrow and suffering.
He was like someone people turn their faces away from.
We looked down on him. We didn’t have any respect for him.
He suffered the things we should have suffered.
He took on himself the pain that should have been ours.
But we thought God was punishing him.
We thought God was wounding him and making him suffer. (Isaiah 53:3, 4 NIRV)
